A cervicofacial emphysema was found when the physical exam was carried out. Computerized axial tomography was indicated, which showed fracture of the medial and lateral walls of the left maxillary sinus. It was decided to use the conservative technique for air extraction by means of the needles placement. The patient had a favorable clinical course and he didn't have relapses.
